Pink Floyd 1975 Raving and Drooling (aka Sheep) Pt. 1 of 2

[Morgyborgyblob]

@Gilmourinski Snowy White is on bass for this. Waters played guitar on the live versions.

[PuttinOnnTheRitzz]

Hey, take a look at a soundboard/HD recording of this tune on my channel! I've personally waited a veeery long time for something like it to be released, so I'm sure other folks will get a kick out of it!

[Gilmourinski]

Snowy White played here ? I can hear two guitars

[bds9999]

@Gilmourinski Think so. Think he played on the Animals/Wall tours. Hoping the full Pigs on the Wing with SW solo will be on the new reissues!

[logan4x6]

This is now my favorite song by PF. The bass line at the beginning sounds scary, but cool. :)

[wilitoto]

Keyboard sound's haunting

[ratedsick]

This rawness of this version really fits the song. Gives it that hard hopeless edge similar to the words

[Maravalmusic]

Just AMAZING!!!

@gozaderadrfunk

A constant source of ideas.. i enthusiastically agree. Were many of the demos releasable in waters only state? no. In fact, the performance i seem to most study is cwtae on pompeii... perfect example of a dark waters idea pioneered by rick and dave, and notably nick on this example as well... point me to waters last rock solo album of acclaim? I thoroughly miss the lyrics to sheep, and dark side, but I wouldn't trade them for the music surrounding.

[boonexy]

@gozaderadrfunk

in fact, no offense, but that comment demonstrates how music can head to such lows as the popular music world exists today... many more elements make up the sound of something than the themes of the words.

[gozaderadrfunk]

@boonexy Talking like a true Gilmour fan or maybe like one of his kids. And I like Dave. We got different views. Check your PF cds or lps credits and see how many times Roger's name shows up. Your comment demonstrates how Gilmour fans can not take the fact that Waters was the hardest working member and the source of most ideas. List some of the things that you say Gilmour pioneered.5 years ago PF was worth 250 millions if they reunited with, guess who. Have a good monday my friend!

[boonexy]

lol heart and soul of the lyrics.. check some facts my friend, most of the music was pioneered by... guess who.

[gozaderadrfunk]

David Gilmour is a bit overrated. Roger Waters was Pink Floyd. Most music and all Lyrics on all five final albums. The flying pigs, the wall concepts., etc. His solo work sounds more like classic PF than the two dehydrated PF albums of the Gilmour lead era. I like Dave and I have all his music and dvds, but Roger was the heart and soul of Floyd. The younger generations tend to think that Dave is the man because they knew the band with AMLOR and Division Bell albums.

[DavidKinner]

@gozaderadrfunk Even Rick Wright's solo albums sound more like Pink Floyd then Dave's do.

[logan4x6]

@gozaderadrfunk I agree. Roger is like the soul of PF. He's very creative and the songs he makes up are just great. I think he should've let David do a little more songs and ideas, though. That would've been cool if David did a story if his own like Roger did: "The Wall".

[FrokenKeke]

Seriously, why didn't they make an official live album of the mid 70's lineup? It was the best music ever fucking made, and all I can experience it with are obscure bootlegs that I will never find. Good thing the internet exist.

[charadeyouareha]

Is that Roger's voice in the beginning?

[atrios28]

@charadeyouareha Yup

[bds9999]

What's great about DSOTM, WYWH, Animals is the balance of music to lyrics. I think Waters better at lyrics than music and Gilmour better at music than lyrics. Basically, without Gilmour's guitar Final Cut is a Water's solo album and MLOR is a Gilmour solo album.

[thedirtyfecker]

great song. I loved the Animals album. For me it was a meeting of the new matured floyd merged with the psychadelic sound of the likes of Lucifer sam, Interstellar overdrive and Let there be more light. the bass lines pumping through that record were a breath of fresh air after Wish you were here. Great album too but the new direction freshened things up a bit in my opinion.That was what made them such a great band. They were always moving forward. Thats why they made shit records without waters

[kkilhhh]

Yeah, Animals was a cool album, but I think it was almost a hiatus for the band, between Wish You Were Here (which to me is almost like a more stripped down Dark Side) and The Wall which is the most epic and complex album of all time. But it's all relative because Animals was one of the best albums of the late 70s

[Oeasphere]

Their last album with waters was a shit record

[thedirtyfecker]

Your opinion and tat of many so i respect that. I do not think the final cut was a shit record. A different record sure but shit? No, i do not think so. Full of depth. As for momentry lapse and Division bell? Soulless drivel that barely holds together in any form. Thats just my opinion.

[Miszalke1]

This version is... crazy :-)

[HarryPalma]

Love It!!!

[furfman]

I like this version, snappy.

I need to figure out how to download these tunes.

[GibsonRocks12]

You Should Use Zamzar

[thecyanman]

The 1975 versions of Raving and Drooling and You Got to be Crazy are SO much better than the 1974 versions.

[ukkfayooyay]

I remember this song well from the 1975 tour. At the time my impression was that it was a 'work in progress' as it lacked the polish of most of PF's works. Obviously they developed the Animals concept later, and molded this piece into "Sheep." I have this tour on an old cassette tape.

[EyesLikeHoles]

Going from raving and drooling to bleating and babbling is the single worst lyrical decision ever made by a band. They had it right the first time.

[floydpink64]

Couldn't agree more. Having said that Sheep is one of my favs. However this has more energy than the Sheep version.

[MmmmmmmCookies]

i love the rawness of this version,and the fact they gigged this years before it was released as sheep on animals.dont know of many bands that do/did that spesh as dark side and wish you were here were new and fresh at the time.

[SephynnXx]

I like this version but have to say the original became the original for a reason. I love the way they did THE LORD IS MY SHEPARD part. It was very cool sounding......

[s222222111]

Incredible drumming - proves what a fantastic drummer Nick mason was when he made the effort!

[iPig]

I looooooove the bass intro on this song. Some bootlegs sound even better. I wish they would've kept the bass the same for the intro of Sheep.

[aripahs]

roger played bass here and david on the studio version, so thts probly why they changed it.

[juanjcfree]

fuck!!! is really trippy!! the intro is like careful with that axe and one of this days....and Richard Wright was still proud to play with Pink Floyd Water had not kicked out yet

[oneofspades]

But this was the beginning of the end for Classic Floyd. Too much drugs, Too much money. Too much egos.

[stalkek]

Not enough drugs more like.

[oneofspades]

maybe for syd.

[stalkek]

Though Syd had nowt to do with this music.

[oneofspades]

"Nowt"? Syd was on his way out of the business by this time. Everyone in the business had enough of Syd. But if you say the Floyd didn't used enough drugs, the answer is maybe for Syd. My statement was never a commentary on Syd participation with the music. Rick was developing a serious cocaine habit that would help lead to his alienation of the band. This period of time, the band was still a group afterwards it became only a shell of them selfs. Floyd was a family. A dysfunction family.

[stalkek]

Well fair enough. Cocaine is bad for anyone. What I flippantly enough was implying that the band was less into the pleasure of the groove & the intrinsic depth & joy of life that are, when used & not abused, part of the nature of thinkgs like marijuana & the hallucinogens- again obviously to be taken with care. The concern with more negative, 'intellectual' concerns as the band progressed in time are something of a losing of contact with that joy in life.

[Torre878]

What a wonderful Pink Floyd's document!!!

[Uberzwerch]

Great! Wright is awesome on this one !

[justiniscoolohyea]

not as good as sheep

[RogerWaters2112]

how did you get this rare version???? its awesome!!! i love pink floyd!!

[LordJotun]

This one is very interesting. I think what sets it apart from the album version is its rather lighthearted approach - parts of this jam sound almost cheerful, in complete contrast to the gloomy feeling that permeates the whole "Animals" album.

[dbatt92]

it has the same bass line and some of the lyrics are the same, but in a different order, and an odd sound but similar to careful with that axe eugene. i think i heard some of those screeches that waters makes. and ones im sure i heard

[duhduh666]

This is brilliant! Trippy as hell.

[juliomiy]

haunting sound as only Pink Floyd can do. Wish I could go back in time and experience this live

[aripahs]

this version is cool, but sry guys im more into the studio version, altho to me youve got to b crazy is better than dogs

[mtopper66]

Pink Floyd were definitely at a peak in the mid-70s. Wish they had put this version and "You Gotta Be Crazy" out in their original form. Less Waters-dominated, more of a band effort. And the LA 4-18-75 show should be put out as an archival live release w/remastered sound, like Zeppelin's "How The West Was Won". Wouldn't mind a DVD of remastered video footage, either; YouTube proves there's a lot of quality live stuff to choose from, right from 1967 through to the 2007 reunion.

[airxjordanx23]

awesommmmmmme! please tell me how i can get this cd!

[chrisocony]

there are a bunch of sites where you can share/download bittorrent files; pink floyd is out there in abundance - check dimeadozenDOTorg

or google pink floyd bit torrent

[logan4x6]

@chrisocony One of my friends got a bootlegged album for this and "Dogs".

[stanleykneecap]

prefer this version, sounds more modern. You could image a great chemical brothers or wetherall remix of this

[mas3087]

This is cool... There is a touch of Careful With That Axe, Eugene and Echoes, good stuff. You are right, the sound quality is good. Thanks for sharing.
